the build quality is pretty much the same... the bit holder is better on the Vessel as it's designed for the notched bits, making the bits hold on to the handle better the Vessel bits are about 1/2" shorter, but careful comparison shows that the Craftsman bits have the same cut, making them JIS...

I paid about that much in Japan, but of course I didn't have to pay shipping... just the plane ticket pretty much lol

picked up one of each type today, can't resist I bought the original real deal Vessel when I was in Japan a few months ago... it was a lot more expensive, and rightfully so as it's their Japan only high end model with more bits... I'll post some pics tomorrow...

Would be nice to have a 16oz and 8oz part of the collection..... affordably of course ;)

so $10 more for the Torin seems worth it then since it has better wheels, in which it'll cost you that much just to "upgrade" the Craftsman?

Is this better or the round rolling stool that sometimes goes on sale for $20?

I wish they were impact sockets I could care less about SAE sizes also

tried to buy two sets after adding to cart and clicking on request total... got this: so I emailed him and now waiting... :mad:

funny... mine doesn't have either of those writings at all... just craftsman on one side, then the product code and manufacturer code on the other, just like their screwdrivers I got it a few months ago too... maybe mine is old stock?

it could be worse, but I still prefer USA like many of you lol

yup, and different stores have slightly different ads if you just did a search within your local area (aka reasonable driving distance)... so YMMV on what deals you find compared to what we have already posted here... take your time to search around for some really awesome deals good luck! :rocker:

from what I heard, the tap and die set aren't so good any more, unless you find USA old stock

the foreign made ones I've seen were taiwan so far

my local store is doing mad clearance too... the guy there said they've been shuffling things around for the past 2 weeks... I wonder what's going on....
